Day 2 - Activity 2 - 2017

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to interview Laura while in Dargaville. On your blog post five questions that you would ask her.

HERE ARE MY 5 QUESTIONS: 

1. Who inspired you to become a sailor?
2. Did you wanted to sail on your own through your journey or did you wanted a company?
3. How does it feel to be one of the youngest sailors?
4. Have you ever thought about when are you going to stop sailing?
5. What happens if someone wanted to ruin your career?

Day 2 - Activity 1 - 2017

Activity 1: After a very busy day of sightseeing you and your group drive from Tane Mahuta to your hotel in Dargaville. When you arrive you decide to sit down and record your thoughts in your travel diary.

Before you start writing, take a minute to read more about Rangitoto island, Karekare beach and Tane Mahuta.  On your blog, tell us which of the three places you most enjoyed visiting and why.  

My favourite place was the Karekare Beach because it's a splendid and beatiful beach to hangout with your family and have  a lovely time having a yummy picnic. 

Day 1 - Bonus activity / 2017

Bonus Activity: Now it’s time to start your tour! Curious Kiwi decides to start by taking you on a short tour through downtown Auckland. You stop at the Sky Tower, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

For this activity, it is your turn to design a new flag. Use any drawing programme that you wish. I would recommend using the Google Drawings programme or the Flag Designer website. It allows you to create a flag in three easy steps. When you are done, take a screenshot of your flag and post it on your blog. Here is an example:

To earn full points you must describe the flag, in words, below the picture. Please tell us what is on the flag and what inspired your design.   

Here is the Flag I created. First dark green background represents the green grass covering the land. The  light blue background  stands out as the magnificent sea that is surrounding our beatiful nation. The white cross is a symbolizes the north, south east and west. Lastly the golden key is a symbol of how our country is friendly and that we built friendships towards visitors who come to New Zealand.
